For The Blow Monkeys and Belouis Some, this tour marks their re-entry into the U.S. performance space after quite some time. Continues Peters, “All our bands made an initial impact through the medium of music, but it was driven deeper into the hearts and imaginations of people all over North America _via_ Music Television – a then brand new format that allowed bands from all across the globe to be both heard and seen, paving the way for a new generation of artists and fans of which had never been witnessed before.” “We are thrilled to be returning to the States again,” expresses **Dr. Robert ** of **The Blow Monkeys**. “The music of America has been the soundtrack to our lives and in some ways we feel like we are coming home.” Adds **Belouis Some**, ““I’m really looking forward to getting out on the road again with such a cool line-up… playing to the best audiences in the world!” **The Alarm **first arrived onto the US music scene in 1983 via an appearance on the original _MTV Cutting Edge TV Show_ and a debut tour of America as the opening act for U2 on the War Tour. Subsequently described by Bono as “The second greatest rock and roll band in the world’, The Alarm has maintained a constant North American presence ever since with classic singles such as “The Stand,” “Strength,” and “Rain In The Summertime.” More recently, their last four albums – _Equals_ (2018), _Sigma_( 2019), _Omega_ (2022) and _Forwards_ (2023), have all featured in the top thirty of the Billboard Hot 100 Independent album chart. The Alarm - Rain In The Summertime [⌊The Alarm - Rain In The Summertime⌉⌊The Alarm - Rain In The Summertime⌉ Watch this video on YouTube **The Alarm “Rain in the Summertime”** British auteurs **The Blow Monkeys** also appeared on MTV’s _Cutting Edge TV _show in 1986 _en route_ to establishing their song “Digging Your Scene” as a massive Top 20 Billboard Hit single. The band also recorded a cover of Lesley Gore’s “You Don’t Own Me” for the _Dirty Dancing_ film soundtrack that went on to become the best-selling soundtrack album of all time. With enigmatic front man Dr. Robert at the helm, The Blow Monkeys have continued to feature on the UK charts and at music festivals across Europe, retaining a loyal and devoted following amongst US fans who will be ecstatic to see and hear the band on this side of the Atlantic in 2024. **More info here:  [https://linktr.ee/theblowmonkeys.com](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=3a5f7143ff&e=615f2b8493)** The Blow Monkeys - Digging Your Scene [⌊The Blow Monkeys - Digging Your Scene⌉⌊The Blow Monkeys - Digging Your Scene⌉ Watch this video on YouTube **The Blow Monkeys “Digging Your Scene”** **Belouis Some** created the classic international hit singles “Imagination” and“ Some People” in 1985, and while touring with Frankie Goes To Hollywood, caused controversy at MTV with a nude video created by the legendary Storm Thorgerson. In 1986, Belouis Some contributed the song “Round, Round” to the classic John Hughes’ era defining film soundtrack _Pretty In Pink_ which was listed in Rolling Stone’s list of “The 25 Greatest Soundtracks of All Time” and (like The Alarm), also appeared as special guest to Freddie Mercury and Queen in the UK. **More info here: [https://linktr.ee/belouissome](https://linktr.ee/belouissome)** Belouis Some - Some People [⌊Belouis Some - Some People⌉⌊Belouis Some - Some People⌉ Watch this video on YouTube **Belouis Some “Some People”** “I’m excited that The Alarm can be part of this tour with two amazing artists who I have admired forever,” says Peters. “The Blow Monkeys and The Alarm are connected to times before our bands were even born and Belouis Some’s music is to be admired through musician connections to one of our collective heroes – David Bowie and beyond I’m sure this will be a tour where we all perform together at various times along the way.” “It’s going to be exciting touring with Mike and The Alarm**,” **concludes Dr. Roberts.“ The connection between the two bands goes way back and, of course, I know Belouis Some from our time sharing stages and TV screens in the ‘80s. We can’t wait to play our music**,** new and old**,** to American audiences again. It’s been far too long and it’s time to build up a new connection.
